Q: How do families hire trustworthy child care providers in {{city}}, {{state}}?

Families find trustworthy child care providers on Sittercity who are passionate about providing safe and enriching care for their children. Many providers report they are First Aid and CPR certified to provide the best care for your family. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

Q: What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

I'm 23 years old and have multiple years of experience in childcare. Both in professional and familial setting. As the oldest of a 7 childen household, my interest in childhood learning started extremely early. Most of my teenage years were spent having babysitting or housekeeping jobs while juggling AP classes and eventually college credits. In recent years I've still done the occasional babysitting. As well as house and pet sitting.

Hello! I am a very enthusiastic and passionate care giver! I’ve worked in daycares for the past year and a half, but am looking to branch off into other positions of childcare. I would follow a typical daycare schedule that would include circle time (learning time), art and sensory time, and outside time if permitted. I will provide items used for circle time and arts and sensory! I’m looking for the perfect family that would allow me to bring my almost 2 year old son along with. I am currently a lead toddler teacher, but am in the process of opening my own in-home daycare. In the meantime, I’m looking for a nanny or babysitting gig. I look forward to meeting new families and kiddos!
